Zhiqian Lin (she/her)

Hi, I’m Zhiqian. I'm an illustrator based in China. And also a Mum of two kids. I really love children’s books and drawing, so I decided to come to Cambridge to study.

Over the past two years, I published 3 books. Award experiences include being shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards (WIA) 2023, the US 2023 CA Illustration Competition, the 2023 Golden Pinwheel Young Illustrators Competition, and receiving the Excellence Award at the 9th Hiii Illustration International Competition.

My illustrations focus on narrative and storytelling, and I've continued to explore the visual language in hopes of making better children’s books!
